Call for papers: Eighth International Conference on Scale Space and Variational Methods in Computer Vision, SSVM 2021

We invite you to participate in the Eighth International Conference on Scale Space and Variational Methods in Computer Vision (SSVM). The conference will be held in Cabourg, France, May 16 - May 20, 2021. The conference website can be found at

Situation of the pandemic
So far, we are planning to maintain the SSVM conference live, provided the progress of the outbreak situation continues to improve.
However, our first priority is the safety, health, and well-being of SSVM participants.
We are closely monitoring the situation through official channels and will provide updates with any developments.
If the situation next spring does not improve enough, then we will consider turning the event completely virtual.
For participants with health issues and risks, who will have their work accepted but cannot attend, we are also consider possibilities for for remote participation.
In any event, We would like to encourage the community to submit excellent research work.

About SSVM
SSVM is a biannual meeting within the area of Computer Vision and Image Analysis. SSVM focuses especially on multiscale analysis of image content, partial differential equations, geometric and level-set methods, variational methods, and optimization.
Contributions are in the form of full papers, 12 pages in Springer LNCS format including bibliography.

Conference topics include the following areas:
3D vision
Color enhancement
Compressed sensing
Convex and non-convex modeling
Cross-scale structure
Differential geometry and invariants
Image- and feature analysis
Imaging modalities
Implicit surfaces
Inpainting
Inverse problems in imaging
Level-set methods
Manifold-valued data processing
Mathematics of novel imaging methods
Medical imaging and other applications
Motion estimation and tracking
Multi-orientation analysis
Multi-scale shape analysis
Optical flow
Optimization methods in imaging
PDEs in image processing
Perceptual grouping
Registration
Restoration and reconstruction
Scale-space methods
Segmentation
Selection of salient scales
Shape from X
Stereo and multi-view reconstruction
Sub-Riemannian geometry
Surface modelling
Variational methods
Wavelets and image decomposition

Proceedings
Papers accepted for the conference will appear in the conference proceedings that will be published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. The proceedings will be available at the conference. Prospective authors are invited to submit a full-length twelve-page paper electronically via the SSVM'21 Paper Submission Web Page. All papers will undergo a double-blind peer-review procedure. At the conference the papers will be presented as posters or talks.

Best student paper award
The conference will award a best student paper prize.
